Bath repair at your home in Eye
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath repair in Eye
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Eye
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Eye
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Eye
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Eye
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
